People wanting a support class. Why?

The game's structure as well as how the fights are designed pretty much make any meaningful support impossible to implement. Even our sparse CC options stop working in 50 content for the most part and you don't need it in the overworld. They would have to redesign combat from the ground up again to make space for a pure support role and then there would be the balance issues which after 3 expansions now I think they just don't have the chops to handle that if they were to try.

Well let me ask another question then. Is Dancer the support class you’ve always wanted in the game, I.E you feel like you’re being helpful?

Far from it. Like RDM and BRD, you only in my opinion have a token amount of support. nothing like the games of old. For me I don't really think of them as support roles, but because that's what I've always enjoyed that's what I play.

Many other posts have already covered the reasons I enjoy it.

Sadly the age of pure support is long over. Not to long ago I made a post about how MMORPGs have changed over the years for many reasons in that and for the above reasons we won't see a buffer/debuffer in this game. When I say buffer I don't mean a wimpy 10% damage increase I mean a class that could increase attack speed, Increase damage, Increase mana regen, reduce incoming damage, Slow mob attack speed. And do those things significantly.
